C Em Am G
[Verse 1]
C Em
I could've sworn I saw fireworks
Am G
From your house last night
C Em
As the lights flickered and they failed
Am G
I had it all figured out
[Chorus]
C Em
Why do I do this to myself?
Am G
Every time I know the way it ends
C Em
Before it's even begun
Am G C
I am the only one at the finish line
[Verse 2]
C Em
I took a trip out to the frozen lake
Am G
And you felt so far away
C Em
But I could feel it washing over me
Am G
There's no escaping the harsh light of day
[Chorus]
C Em
Why do I do this to myself?
Am G
Every time I know the way it ends
C Em
Before it's even begun
Am G C
I am the only one at the finish line
C Em Am G C
Ooh..
[Bridge]
Em F
Stood out on that beach in Chicago
Am F
Woke up next to you on Silver Lake Avenue
Em F
Wherever I went I always knew, always knew
G
'Til I didn't know
[Chorus]
C Em
Why do I do this to myself?
Am G
Every time I know the way it ends
C Em
Before it's even begun
Am G C
I am the only one at the finish line
C Em Am G
OOh...
[Outro]
C Em
I could've sworn I saw fireworks
Am G C
